Tastes

Not quite scotch, not quite bourbon. Candy in a class, oily mouthfeel. Really fucking good. Will be buying a bottle.

Burnt toast with a little bit of honey. Had high expectations. Let down a little. Will try again. 7/19

Sweetest rye I’ve ever had. I don’t see it cutting through well in a mixed drink. 7/10

Had a chance to try this tonight. Definitely tastes like Buffalo Trace mashbill #2 but somehow the rye spice comes through a bit more. Nose was sweet maraschino, and cinnamon. Definitely worth buying at retail but nothing more.

Really good. Had high expectations. Strikingly similar to OWA and that is good news for me.

Pretty good stuff. All of your typical bourbon characteristics. Nothing to complain about. On the sweeter side. Goes down smooth with little heat.

Nose- Pralines and cream, tart, ethanol Taste- Hot arrival, turns into honey. Reminded me of the honey buildup you get on your last sip of tea. Full and flavorful brown sugar. Finish- Cinnamon, sweet, long Overall, not as different from the Weller Special Reserve as I expected. Just hotter and some slight additional complexity. Weller 12 is still my favorite.

Tasty, but not complex. Sometimes you don’t want complex. A great everyday option.

A flavor combination you wouldn’t expect from a rye. The port barrel finish balances the rye spice with caramel sweetness. Smoky, leathery finish. Dangerously smooth and easy to drink. I can see what the hype is about. Glad I made the purchase.

Nose: Sweet, Cinnamon, Baking Spices, RYE. Taste: dusty cowboy boots by a campfire. Spicy arrival, bold. In your face. Finish- Long, bitter turns to leather, wood, dark chocolate, dill.
